Cont: 2024 Election Thread part 3

I can hardly turn on the news any more. This is just as stressful as the last two times. Maybe even more so because it's still so ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ close! How is that possible??? Can't those MAGA morons see what is right in front of their eyes? They don't even have to vote for Harris, but by gods why insist on voting for that guy? Much of the rest of us see what's coming if he gets elected. Saying "WE TOLD YOU!!!" won't matter when it's too late. I have no thoughts on if Vance has to take over for some reason. But for all that's sensible, Trump must not be elected again.
 
In a tip of the hat to the "holy ◊◊◊◊ is that hypocritical", The Turtle and Johnson release a joint statement asking Harris, yes Harris, to tone down the rhetoric. Per Politico:

“She must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions,” Johnson and McConnell said in their statement. “We call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats.”
Naturally Politico then points out:

Their statement does not mention Trump’s recent rhetoric, in which he’s referred to Harris as a “fascist,” “marxist,” “communist” and “comrade.” The former president has also railed against “enemies within” and called for using government resources to prosecute domestic political opponents — such as California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

I can't imagine being so ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ stupid as to make this statement. I know they're just appealing to their base, but still. How do they say this ◊◊◊◊ with a straight face?
 
At the recent rally it did strike me that trump would likely get pretty irritated with Musk before too long. Apart from Vance's beautifully shadowed eyes, there's nothing about him that can distract from trump, but Musk is as driven by the ego stroking as trump is and will seek the spotlight. If the Republicans win this election and Musk somehow finds his way into the cabinet I have absolutely no doubt that he will become one of the disgruntled ex-employee tea-boys of the administration in due course, followed by another excommunication of trump from xitter.
Elon and the felon.
 
Kamala has lost the Catholic vote because of her unprecedented persecution of it apparently.

and her plans to execute babies after birth of course.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Kamala Harris has finally lost the Catholic vote. Her and the Democrat’s persecution of the Catholic Church is unprecedented! Her poll numbers have dropped like a rock, both with Catholics, and otherwise. What took so long? RFK JR. has been pushing hard for Catholics to VOTE FOR TRUMP. Kamala again made a fool of herself last night at a Radical Left fundraiser, and this after putting on a very Low IQ display at a FAKE NEWS CNN Town Hall. She was almost incoherent, and even host Allison Cooper, who couldn’t get her to make any sense, became agitated. Kamala is DEMANDING LATE TERM ABORTION, in months 7, 8, and 9, and even execution after birth, and people aren’t buying it - and they never will. She is a Radical Left Lunatic!
 
I have been seeing an upsurge in claims that the Dominion voting machines are switching votes.

You would think that high profile MAGAs would have learned their lesson there.
 
You've got Lord Hairplugs and the Orange Weakling both rolling out the claims that got FOX News and several other outlets and talking heads sued.
 
When he wins Donald is going to prosecute everyone that tried to rig the election against him and throw them all in jail.

CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.
 
He's been toying with getting rid of Tax altogether and just having tariffs.
 
He's telling America that he will jail all political opponents and dissidents. If that's not alarming, I don't know what is.
GOP leaders asking Kamala and Walz to tone down the rhetoric is absurd. They only want them to stop because it is working. To call Trump a facist is an accurate statement and they know it.

How is that possible? The Firehose of Falsehoods isn't just a Russian thing. Republicans and their allies have been utilizing it to great effect for a long time. That includes various forms of falsehoods, of course, especially when it comes to the "We are the people who are on YOUR side!" theme. Economy, jobs, taxes, spending, law and order, rights, responsibility... there's lots of BS that they push to scam people into thinking that voting for them is in their self interest.

It's not that they don't know, it's that they don't care.

Anything but a Dumbocrat Libberul. The Republican Party could stand with Hitler as nominee and Stalin as Veep and they wouldn't lose a vote.

Is it possible he still doesn't understand how tariffs work, or is he just relying on the fact that anyone stupid enough to vote for him wouldn't?

Trump has no clue and is incapable of learning. See "The Dumbest Goddam Student I Ever Had".
 
I do suffer from a form of TSDS (Trump Supporter Derangement Syndrome). Every time I read almost every post on TwiX I want to take them by the shoulders and shake them and shout "What the ◊◊◊◊ are you thinking? Don't you have a brain???" I do keep almost all politics out of my Facebook feed, and only engage snarkily on TwiX under a rarely-used name. Well, in less than two weeks ("Two weeks!") it may be over. Or not.
 
So that 'Black Insurrectionist" who claimed with no evidence that Kamala Harris was given the debate questions in advance and was promoted Trump and his followers, well, is not so black and kind of a scumbag. He owes 6.7 million in back taxes to the state of NY, has cheated business partners, and is a drug addict to boot.

In other words, a typical MAGA.
 
Concerning that the WaPo is not endorsing a candidate, which is a break from its usual approach.

Self censorship in case of a Trump win
